Lewis Hamilton previews Las Vegas Grand Prix
Las Vegas has already provided some interesting scenes for Formula 1 this weekend and that is almost certain to continue after a disjointed first day. Practice sessions were severely delayed to the point where spectators were forced to leave the stands as the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen had to drive long into the night.
Someone other than Verstappen may have a chance at winning this weekend after Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc secured pole position ahead of the Dutchman, while Hamilton, Sergio Perez and Lando Norris all failed to make it to Q3.
Verstappen has been on a rampage in Nevada as he has been critical of several elements of the weekend. He described the track as “boring” while insisting that Carlos Sainz should not have been handed a 10-point penalty and most recently fumed after supporters received just a $200 merchandise voucher after missing virtually all of the action on Friday.
The weekend has already seen plenty of twists and turns and more are likely to continue with Leclerc leading the pack in a busy couple of days in Sin City.

KEY EVENTS
Norris provides update on his condition
Lando Norris has revealed that he expects to compete in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix despite his crash in Las Vegas.
The Brit lost control of his car at turn 12 and crashed into the barriers. Norris was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked over, and an official statement from Mercedes has provided clarity on his situation.
Norris said: “An unfortunate end to our Las Vegas GP weekend. I just bottomed out on the restart, lost the rear and hit the wall.
“Not the way we wanted the weekend to end. Big thanks go to the medical staff for checking me over, and to the team for the work they’ll now put in on the car. One week to reset and go again for the season finale in Abu Dhabi.”
Hamilton vows to ‘fight’ Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton has vowed to ‘fight’ during the final race of the Formula One season.
The Mercedes star endured two collisions during the Las Vegas Grand Prix but managed to come from P19 to P7, allowing Ferrari to capitalise and gain a point over his team.
Asked if there were any positives to take from the weekend, Hamilton replied: “Yeah. There’s always a silver lining. We lost a lot of points today to Ferrari which is really unfortunate but we go to the last race, and we will fight and give it everything we’ve got.”
Ricciardo opens up on Vegas struggles
AlphaTauri star Daniel Ricciardo has opened up on why he felt he struggled at the Las Vegas Grand Prix over the weekend.
The 34-year-old qualified in 15th but only improved one place on Sunday, and the Australian believes that his tyres and the multiple safety cars that were introduced damaged his chances.
He explained: “I was definitely optimistic coming into the race. I knew where we’ve been suffering this weekend. It’s really just getting the tyre working so I knew the start would be difficult. But then once everything kind of settles, I felt like we would be able to get into a rhythm and show a little bit more pace, but that wasn’t the case. I think as well with all the restarts, we suffered so much more than the others with warm up.
“I was getting overtaken on the outside of turn three and the outside is really slippery so for them to have more grip on the outside I was just like ‘oh, man.’ It was pretty, pretty humiliating. We honestly just couldn’t do anything. So, a bit of a painful weekend. I think it’s certainly surface specific, but we can’t neglect it.”
Verstappen’s dad explains why star was ‘angry’
Max Verstappen’s dad Jos says he noticed his son was driving ‘angry’ after receiving a five-second penalty for forcing Charles Leclerc off the track.
The Red Bull star suffered a setback after falling to sixth with his pit stop but fought back to clinch his 18th win of the season, and his dad thinks the three-time world champion was furious with the decision to penalise him.
“I could see he wasn’t too happy with that penalty. I could see in his driving style that he was a little bit angry”, Verstappen Snr said.
On the race itself, the Dutchman said: “It was an exciting one. Because of the long straights, there was a lot of overtaking which made it a fun race to watch.”
Norris posts update after leaving hospital
Lando Norris has admitted he felt the force of his ‘big impact’ crash at the Las Vegas Grand Prix as the McLaren star posted his first update since his high-speed incident.
The Briton collided with the barrier at Turn 12 and slammed into the wall, with the Woking team sending him to hospital for tests.
He was later discharged and sent an update to concerned fans, hinting he will be back in the cockpit for he final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
“Rough day. Big impact. But feeling okay!” he wrote on Instagram. “Thanks for all the messages. See you next weekend.”
Hamilton wanted Las Vegas GP stopped
Lewis Hamilton called for the Las Vegas Grand Prix to be stopped over his team radio in a frustrating message regarding a Safety Car that was deployed.
On an eventful day in Nevada, the Brit was infuriated at the speed that the Safety Car was going at after McLaren driver Lando Norris crashed out of the race.
Hamilton remained on the track with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell as they bemoaned the pace of the Safety Car.
They insisted that dropping to such a slow speed was “dangerous” to the drivers at a point when the seven-time world champion called for a decision to be made on whether to continue the race or red-flag it.
“No grip out here,” Hailton complained on his team radio. “This pace is so slow it’s dangerous for us. They need to either speed up or stop this.”
Red Bull blasted as ‘boring’ over Verstappen penalty
Red Bull have been labelled ‘boring’ for their handling for Max Verstappen’s penalty after the Dutchman was penalised at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
According to BBC Sport pundit Joylon Palmer, Red Bull were fully aware that Verstappen would be able to win the race with a five-second penalty, rather than give the place to Charles Leclerc.
“I think Red Bull knew that was going to come and they’ve taken the time trial option,” said Palmer on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“They’ve taken the pragmatic approach. It’s a very, very boring approach for the Grand Prix.”
Leclerc wants tougher penalties
Charles Leclerc has told the FIA to get tougher on penalties after Max Verstappen won the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Monegasque was shoved off the racetrack at Turn 1 by Verstappen, who was handed a five-second time penalty, but the Dutchman clinched his 18th race win of the season anyway.
And Leclerc thinks the stewards should hand out more severe punishments due to the advantage Verstappen had out front.
“I think the five seconds penalty was deserved,” Leclerc said. “It was tight. I still tried to push off the track, but it was [such] low grip to try and keep that position.
“But it’s the way it is, he has been penalised he paid the penalty, and I think that was the right penalty to give, so it’s like this.
“I just think that in those kinds of situations, it will be better for the FIA to ask to give the place back because I think there’s quite a bit of an advantage to take care of tyres when you have free air, but it’s the way it is.”
Ocon explains Gasly team orders incident
Esteban Ocon has insisted he did not ignore team orders after the Alpine driver passed team-mate Pierre Gasly in the latest chapter of their growing rivalry.
Ocon took an impressive fourth place in Las Vegas while Gasly slipped outside the points after Ocon passed him on the straight. Seconds later, a radio message came through telling him to ‘hold position’.
But Ocon explained: “I think Pierre was on older tyres. I got told ‘hold position’ but at the time I didn’t know it was hold position.
“The only thing I heard was ‘position’ because I was making the move while I was being told. If the team had asked for me to give back the position, I would have done it straight away.”
Russell weighs in on Verstappen penalty
George Russell has accepted responsibility for his clash with Max Verstappen at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver picked up a five-second time penalty that scuppered what was set to be a promising race.
Russell was defending hard from Verstappen as he came back through the field following his pit stop when the reigning world champion launched an audacious move down the inside at Turn 12 and the pair made contact.
Discussing the collision with Sky Sports F1 after the race, Russell said: “Just another massively missed opportunity this weekend. The incident with Max was totally my fault. I didn’t see him. Totally in my blind spot around Turn 11.
“I wasn’t really expecting the overtake there because you’ve got the big long straight with DRS afterwards. We were on course for an easy podium. It was pretty straightforward. Recovered to P4 but the five seconds knocks us down to P8. This season is one thing after another.”
Leclerc reveals Verstappen apology
Charles Leclerc has revealed Max Verstappen apologised to him for forcing him off the track after the Red Bull star picked up a five-second penalty before roaring to his 18th win of the season.
The Monegasque led from pole but was forced off at Turn 1 as Verstappen outbraked himself and blocked Leclerc’s path, prompting the stewards to hand him a penalty.
After the race, Leclerc told Viaplay: “I already spoke with Max, he told me ‘sorry’ for the start. He was on the really inside because I squeezed him and I knew there was no grip there, but he still decided to remain there.
“I expected him to go wide and he did, and I tried to resist on the outside but he overtook me.”
BREAKING: Norris discharged from hospital after scary crash
Some positive breaking news from Las Vegas…
Lando Norris has been discharged from hospital, McLaren have confirmed.
The Briton was involved in a heavy shunt with the barrier and was taken to University Medical Center as a precaution.
It seems all is fine with the 24-year-old, who has been released from hospital a few hours after the race.
Hamilton aims subtle dig at Verstappen
Lewis Hamilton claimed Las Vegas proved its doubters wrong after a thrilling race, even if the Mercedes star lamented his bad luck after finishing seventh.
“A really challenging race. I started on the hard tyre which was tricky at the beginning. I got a big hit from someone behind, I think it was Carlos [Sainz], and tried to not hit the cars that had spun around. I fell back five or six places,” he told Sky Sports F1.
“Then after that just making my way back. I was feeling great, the tyres were feeling good, the pace was strong. I went up the inside of Piastri, I don’t really know exactly what happened, I obviously got the hit from behind. I think it was a racing incident.
Asked for his thoughts on Las Vegas, he added: “Lots of great overtaking opportunities and I think for all those who were so negative about the weekend, saying it was all about show blah blah blah, I think Vegas proved them wrong.”
Horner makes surprising Verstappen claim
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Max Verstappen is beginning to change his tune on the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“I thought it was a great race. Exciting. You’ve got long straights, big braking zones and no grip, so tricky for the drivers,” he said, speaking to Sky Sports F1. “I thought it delivered a great Grand Prix and the speeds around here are insane.”
On Max Verstappen’s win, Horner added: “He loves a race like that. Even though he was on the end of a penalty.
“When he came back…the way he fought. I think he changed his mind about Vegas.”
Charles Leclerc reaction
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc speaks to F1 interviewer David Coulthard after the race:
“What a race! I enjoyed it so much. I’m of course disappointed to only finish second, but that’s the best we could do.
“At the start Max on the inside lost a little bit of the grip and brought me onto the outside [of the track] but we had good pace, we passed him back, and we were really strong overall. So that was a really good race.
“We got a bit unlucky with the Safety Car. We didn’t pit because we didn’t know what the others would do and we went for track position and keeping that first place. That was difficult with the older tyres towards the end but second place with a lot of fights, honestly, I enjoyed it.”
Reaction as Verstappen wins
Max Verstappen has won the Las Vegas Grand Prix, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez.
The trio are now speaking individually to David Coulthard, reflecting on what was a thrilling race.
McLaren provide Norris update
Lando Norris has been taken to hospital for further checks after his crash early on at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
McLaren said: “Following Lando’s incident earlier, he was transferred to the circuit Medical Centre and has now been taken to University Medical Center for further precautionary investigations.”
What a race so far
There has been plenty going on during the Las Vegas GP.

A potential setback for Verstappen

Las Vegas locals get creative to avoid pricey tickets
In an attempt to push potential customers to purchase tickets in the stands at the Grand Prix, officials have boarded up all public viewing spots of the track. However, Las Vegas residents have become inventive to catch a glimpse of the action.
Footage has been shared on social media of different ways that locals are watching the action, including people making use of the height of a nearby escalators to sneak a view of the track .
Fans are queuing to use an escalator in the city centre, before trudging back up the stairs and repeating their ‘viewing hack’ to avoid the pricey tickets of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

More from firm suing Formula One for Thursday’s disaster
Steve Dimopoulos has now provided further information about why he is keen to sue Formula One on behalf of 35,000 fans.
In an interview with Reuters, he explained that it is the costs incurred that by those turned-away supporters which should be addressed by the sport’s chiefs.
He explained: “There are a number of issues with that [compensation]. Clearly that [$200 merchandise voucher] is not a refund that is sufficient. A lot of fans probably don’t even want that; they want their money back. There are also peripheral issues of what about the people that came in from out of town and paid for substantial airfare and hotels.”
Hamilton labels qualifying session as ‘terrible’
Lewis Hamilton has labelled his qualifying session as ‘terrible’ after securing a 10th starting spot.
The Mercedes star, like a lot of drivers, blamed the grip at the track for his issues.
He told F1TV: “It’s terrible, but it is what it is. It’s impressive to see the Williams so high up. I just didn’t have any grip out there. I don’t think the tyres were working the whole session, so, it’s not ideal. It’s been a problem I’ve had for a long time.”
Law firm speaks out on lawsuit filed against Formula One
Steve Dimopoulos of Dimopoulos Law Firm has spoken out following the news that his firm, along with co-counsel JK Legal & Consulting have filed a lawsuit against Formula One.
The class action lawsuit alleges breach of contract, negligence, and deceptive trade practices against the defendants and is said to be acting on behalf of the 35,000 fans that were asked to leave the Las Vegas track on Thursday night.
Dimopoulos said: “We will vindicate the rights of the fans that travelled great distances and paid small fortunes to attend, but were deprived of the experience.”
Formula One set to be sued on behalf of 35,000 fans
A lawsuit has been filed against Formula One on behalf of the 35,000 fans that were told that they must leave the Las Vegas practice session on Thursday night.
The event was thrown into jeopardy after Carlos Sainz hit a loose drain that caused significant damage to his Ferrari, and F1 reacted by clearing the stands just nine minutes after racing began.
Action resumed at 2.30am but without a crowd, prompting Dimopoulos Law Firm and co-counsel JK Legal & Consulting to take action and file a class action lawsuit against Formula One in Nevada state court for alleges of breach of contract, negligence, and deceptive trade practices against the defendants.
Verstappen calls for major rule change
Max Verstappen has labelled for F1 rules to chance after Carlos Sainz was handed a penalty at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Spaniard was forced to replace lots of parts on his Ferrari after hitting a loose drain cover, meaning that he was penalised for changing too many parts on his car throughout the season.
Sainz’ penalty has caused uproar, and Verstappen is the latest star to jump to the defence of his rival, saying: “The rules have to change for that. I mean, it’s the same if you get taken out and you have a big accident, you can lose parts of the engine, energy store, all these kind of things.
“First of all, that needs to change. These things can be taken into consideration that if you can take a free, let’s say, penalty or not, it will not be counted. And besides that I think the teams should not be allowed to have a say in these kind of things. Because for sure, they’re going to vote against that,” he continued. Personally I do think it’s very harsh on Carlos. But in this political environment that we are in, of course every team thinks about themselves and of course they’re going to say ‘yes take the penalty.’”
Russell future at Mercedes questioned
Former Formula One star Mark Blundell has questioned whether George Russell has a long-term future with Mercedes.
Despite reaching the latter stages of his career, Lewis Hamilton is still the star attraction at Mercedes and Blundell is unsure whether Russell has the ‘confidence’ required to succeed his teammate when the time comes.
He told OLBG: “George is interesting as I haven’t quite seen the next step in progress. He puts a lap together and he can do an incredibly quick one, but he’s still not quite taken it to Lewis. We’ve seen Lewis come back and be the stronger part of the equation, and that’s down to his experience and depth. I don’t know.
“I think the next step is there for George, but I’m not sure he has the confidence to take it on, and I’m concerned it’ll never be seen next season. I think he needs to step up and he has to take it to Lewis and make sure he’s second in line all the time! That’s the only way George’s stock can go up.”
Wolff speaks out about Hamilton’s radio message
Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has spoken out about Lewis Hamilton’s message during the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday morning.
The Brit crashed out in Q2 and was heard telling his team that he could not go any faster on the radio after it became clear that he would not be able to push for pole position.
Wolff has since backed Hamilton, explaining: “He didn’t have any more grip. We are really talking about four or five degrees of temperature difference between grip and no grip. You can see some teams – the McLarens – who play in the front and are out in Q1.
“And the Ferraris put in stunning laps, both of them half a second ahead of everybody else. It remains a mystery. We saw it in Free Practice 3. Very difficult to understand.”
Hamilton teased by Perez
Sergio Perez mocked Lewis Hamilton during their drivers’ meeting prior to the Las Vegas GP after the Brit appeared to fall asleep.
Friday’s session went long into the night and drivers were forced to stay up into the early hours of the morning for their meeting.
Perez seemingly caught Hamilton taking a power nap and captioned his video with: “Someone has jet lag” accompanied by laughing emojis.
Ricciardo sent stripper warning
AlphaTauri driver Daniel Ricciardo has been warned of rogue strippers at this weekend’s Las Vegas GP.
After joining the Jimmy Kimmel Show this week, Ricciardo was made aware of the locals that could be paraded around near the track.
“You gotta be careful though because you know, there are people with like Margaritas and uh, Daquiris that are like four-and-a-half feet tall,” warned Kimmel. “You could easily run somebody over, like, just don’t discount that factor, all right? If you see a red light, stop is what I’m saying!”
Ricciardo replied: “I guess what you’re saying is there’s 19 others that I have to watch out for but it could be more?”
To which Kimmel explained: “It could be thousands! There could be magicians, there could be strippers walking across. You don’t want to hit a stripper!”
Verstappen fumes at fan offer
Max Verstappen has hit out at the Las Vegas GP’s offer to a minority of fans who missed out on yesterday’s practice session.
Fixes had to be made to the track and supporters only got to witness a few minutes of action as they were escorted out before FP2.
The event offered single-day ticket holders a $200 merchandise voucher, while those who paid for the entire weekend were not given anything and no apology was offered – clearly ticking off Verstappen.
“Then they make money from it here too,” he told De Telegraaf. “Awesome! If I were a fan, I would tear the whole place down. This can’t be true, can it?”
Horner reacts to Perez disaster
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has explained how the team were caught out by Sergio Perez’s surprise elimination in Q2.
Perez was in sixth place when Red Bull opted to bring him back in early, clearly feeling that enough had been done to reach Q3.
However, that was not the case and Horner was forced to explain. “He went a little earlier,” Horner said.
“We only took three sets of soft tyres into qualifying. To try and avoid getting caught in traffic on the last lap, he did the lap a little earlier and was just a tenth short.”
Verstappen calls for rule change
Max Verstappen has come out in defence of Carlos Sainz and called for the F1 to change their rules following his controversial penalty.
Sainz will drop from second to 12th tomorrow after a 10-place grid penalty through no fault of his own, but a track issue, and has been defended by Verstappen.
“The rules have to change for that,” said Verstappen. “It’s the same if you get taken out and have a big accident. You can lose parts of engine, energy store, all these kinds of things.
“So first of all that needs to change and these things can be taken into consideration that you can take a free penalty or not, it will not be counted.”
Hamilton worrying admission
Lewis Hamilton gushed over Ferrari after he suffered a nightmare qualifying session in Las Vegas.
The Brit did not make it to Q3 and bemoaned a lack of pace that does not bode well for Sunday’s race.
“Yeah [the car was] just not that great. Yesterday [it] was feeling a little bit better and we were looking relatively competitive,” he said.
“Made some changes overnight, P3 was pretty poor… it kind of put me on the back foot and then I was just trying to recover basically in qualifying, which is the place to do so and yeah, just struggled with the grip.
“The car just wasn’t working for me and you know, it’s just definitely difficult when you can’t even get through Q2, but it is what it is.”
Leclerc disappointed despite pole
Charles Leclerc insisted that he was disappointed with his Q3 lap despite taking pole position in Las Vegas.
He will start on the front row with Max Verstappen and look to claim his first race win of the season, but more improvements are needed in his opinion.
“I’m happy,” Leclerc said. “To take the first pole in Las Vegas, it’s an incredible event. To be starting from pole is great. However, I’m a bit disappointed about my laps in Q3. I didn’t do a good enough job but it was enough for P1 and that’s all we need.
“Now it’s full focus to try and put everything together for the race. Normally, that’s where we lack most performance so I hope we can put it all together and win here.”
Leclerc takes Las Vegas pole
Charles Leclerc has claimed pole position for tomorrow’s Las Vegas GP after recording the fastest time in qualifying.
Ferrari took a 1-2 with Carlos Sainz in second but he will receive a 10-place grid penalty, despite finishing above third-placed Max Verstappen.
Lewis Hamilton was unable to get the necessary speed and did not reach Q3, alongside Sergio Perez as Red Bull will feel that they made an error bringing him in too early.
While both McLarens were eliminated in Q1 in a disastrous session for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Verstappen fumes over radio
Max Verstappen and Esteban Ocon were furious at each other during Las Vegas GP qualifying.
The pair jostled together for position on turns 1 and 14 before nearly colliding at the former.
Ocon called Verstappen out on the team radio before the Red Bull man responded by calling his rival a “stupid idiot”.
Qualifying underway
Cars are on the track for qualifying in Las Vegas as the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will be hoping to take pole position.
The circuit is still somewhat of an unknown due to plagued practice sessions and there are sure to be plenty of surprises in store.
To keep a closer eye on all the action in qualifying you can stay completely up to date with our live blog of the session.
Mercedes and Red Bull break curfew
Mercedes and Red Bull were both caught breaking curfew in Las Vegas as they continued to work on their cars late into the night.
However, the FIA is not punishing either team as everyone is allowed two infringements and neither have broken curfew more than twice.
Though it is clear that plenty of work is being done behind the scenes to ensure the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have strong races.
Red Bull & Mercedes broke curfew, first of two permitted for the season for both teams, no action taken

Charles Leclerc forces angry radio message
Ferrari star Charles Leclerc forced Kevin Magnussen into a sweary radio message after being frustrated at how they battled for position.
Magnussen accused Leclerc of “taking the p***” before once again being overtaken in FP3.
Leclerc appeared frustrated at Magnussen’s pace and overtook his rival, but came close to colliding in Las Vegas.
FP3 recap
In the early hours of the morning, George Russell led the way in FP3 as the Mercedes man put his Brazil misery behind him.
He topped the time charts ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Williams’ Logan Sargeant.
The session was cut short, however, after Alex Albon clipped the wall and red-flagged practice. His tyre rolled down the track and with five minutes remaining, time was called on the session.
Minority of angry fans offered voucher
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and Las Vegas GP CEO Renee Wilm released a statement after fans in Nevada only caught a few minutes of practice before being escorted out of the event yesterday.
A 650-word statement was released explaining the situation but stopped short of apologising, as fans who purchased a single-day ticket were offered a $200 voucher for race merchandise.
“We have all been to events, like concerts, games and even other Formula 1 races, that have been cancelled because of factors like weather or technical issues. It happens, and we hope people will understand,” the statement, in part, read.
There has been no refund or discount announced for anyone who purchased a three-day ticket.
